TLDR
In this paper, an alternative proof is given for the connection between a system of continuous Hahn polynomials and identities for symmetric elements in the Heisenberg algebra, which was first observed by Bender, Mead, and Pinsky [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 2445 (1986); J. Math. 28, 509 (1987)].
Abstract
An alternative proof is given for the connection between a system of continuous Hahn polynomials and identities for symmetric elements in the Heisenberg algebra, which was first observed by Bender, Mead, and Pinsky [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 2445 (1986); J. Math. Phys. 28, 509 (1987)]. The continuous Hahn polynomials turn out to be Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials. Use is made of the connection between Laguerre polynomials and Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials, the Rodrigues formula for Laguerre polynomials, an operational formula involving Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials, and the Schrodinger model for the irreducible unitary representations of the three‐dimensional Heisenberg group.
